. We sold our house ($700k - $800k price range) in less than 3 months in a generally bad market for real estate, given the economic news coming out during summer 2011. Our house sold while others in the neighborhood are still for sale, and we attribute that to the marketing strategy and presentation of our house, in which Beth and Tom were intricately involved. Their market analysis and pricing strategy proved to be on target.
. Tom and Beth devoted exceptional energy to selling our home and really rose to the occasion during our negotiations, through several rounds of tricky counteroffers, and we were able to sell close to our asking price during a time of downward pressure on real estate prices. We especially relied on their team to find a good strategy for accepting a contingent offer and securing a backup offer.

Determining the list priceDetermining the list price
We will help you determine the list price of your home by providing you with a thorough market analysis. Tom has Masters Degree in Statistics and enjoys studying the market and providing information to our clients. Some of the factors that influence the list price of your home are:
• Physical Qualities – Location, floor plan and condition of your home• Market Conditions – Interest rates and availability of financing, buyer and
seasonal demand, state of the economy and recent property sales• Competition – Inventory and pricing of homes actively on market, and pricing
for comparable properties that have recently sold
The price you paid for your home or the proceeds you want from the sale have no effect on the value of your home.
Pricing strategiesPricing strategies
Determining an accurate list price for your home is important for Determining an accurate list price for your home is important for these reasons:these reasons:
• The closer your home is priced to fair market value when it first comes on the market, the more likely it will sell quickly and at the highest price
• The higher your home is priced above market value, the fewer the number of buyers that will bother to consider it
Potential buyer pyramidPotential buyer pyramid
Statistics have shown:
• There is only a 20% chance of sale if priced at 15% over market value
• There is only a 30% chance of sale if priced at 10% over market value
• There is only a 50% chance of sale if priced at just 5% over market value

What clients have to sayWhat clients have to say
Coming in to the area from Texas, we were clueless about the real estate market here. Meeting Tom and Beth was the best thing that could have happened. They were extremely patient, and sacrificed their time and even some potential income to make sure we found the right fit for us. We never felt pressured or rushed. Honestly, it was more like working with old friends than realtors, except they were much more savy than our actual old friends.

What clients have to sayWhat clients have to say
Tom and Beth served as the complements to our weaknesses in our search for a new home. They listened to what we needed and worked tirelessly to find us that home. After working with us for a while, they knew to bring up a house which we had already discounted, as their strength of visualization could help us to understand that we had tossed aside a perfectly good house unnecessarily.
Needless to say, we’ve been very happy working with Tom and Beth. They both saved us from disaster and found us the house we wanted to buy after a 4 month search. We recommend their services unequivocally.
